2. Components and Parts
The EFT EPS220/EPS240 Spreader System (40L Tank variant) typically includes the following main components:
- Spreader Unit: The core mechanism responsible for material dispersion.
- 40L Tank: A container for holding seeds or fertilizers.
- Mounting Brackets/Hardware: For attaching the system to a compatible drone frame.
- Control Module/Cables: For integrating with the drone's flight controller for operation.
Note: Specific components may vary slightly based on the exact model and drone integration. Refer to your drone's manual for specific connection points.
3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the spreader system. Ensure the drone is powered off and disconnected from any power source before beginning installation.
- Prepare the Drone: Ensure your agriculture drone (G420, G616, G610, or 630 frame) is stable and on a level surface. Refer to your drone's manual for specific attachment points for external payloads.
- Attach Mounting Brackets: Secure the spreader system's mounting brackets to the designated points on the drone frame using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Mount the Spreader Unit: Carefully attach the spreader unit, including the 40L tank, to the installed mounting brackets. Verify that the unit is balanced and does not interfere with drone propellers or landing gear.
- Connect Control Cables: Connect the spreader's control cables to the drone's flight controller or designated auxiliary ports. Consult your drone's manual for correct wiring diagrams and port identification. Ensure all connections are firm to prevent disconnections during flight.
- Initial Power-Up and Test: After installation, power on the drone and perform a ground test. Verify that the spreader mechanism responds correctly to commands from the drone's remote controller or ground station software. Do not load materials during this initial test.
Warning: Incorrect installation can lead to equipment damage or unsafe flight conditions. If unsure, seek professional assistance.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of the fertilizer spreader system.
